Boost.Asio compile error on Visual Studio 2015 Update 2

[Sergey Svistunov <zenden2k@…>]

I just upgraded to VS 2015 Update 2 and boost/asio/basic_io_object.hpp fails to compile on it. Downgrading to VS 2015 Update 1 fixed this issue for me.

Both in Update 1 and Update 2 this macro "BOOST_ASIO_HAS_MOVE" seems to be defined by boost.config.

I am encountering the same issue, also on VS2015 Update 2. This is preventing us from using Boost.Asio.

Also meet this error

I just encountering the same issue, and found a resolution:

typedef asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator tcp_iterator;

and use tcp_iterator, instead of use asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator direct in the constructors, and compile fine

the solution I found was to just change this boost code (mentioned in the original report)

   static const bool value =
      sizeof(service_has_move::eval(
        static_cast<service_type*>(0),
        static_cast<implementation_type*>(0))) == 1;

to this

  static const bool value =
      sizeof(   eval(
        static_cast<service_type*>(0),
        static_cast<implementation_type*>(0))) == 1;

(i.e. remove the service_has_move:: )

and it compiled fine. If you rename that actual method to something like eval2, you'll get a compile error, which confirms it's still resolving to the correct method.

Removing service_has_move worked for me! Thank you sir.
